State of Rhode Island State Epidemiological Outcomes Workgroup

About Us

wild violets — Violets, the Rhode Island State Flower

The RI SEOW is a collaborative group of state agencies, universities, and key stakeholders bringing together experts in epidemiology, program evaluation, behavioral health, and prevention. In 2006, the SEOW was established as part of the Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grant (SPF SIG), within the Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS). In 2008, the SEOW was transferred from EOHHS to the Rhode Island Department of Behavioral Healthcare, Developmental Disabilities and Hospitals (BHDDH), the single state authority for substance abuse prevention and treatment and the state mental health authority. SEOW work has been supported since by various Strategic Prevention Framework grants procured by BHDDH as well as volunteer membership from key stakeholders.
